This tour was definitely worth experiencing to see the "other" side of Rio! The reason I gave it three stars and not more is because it seemed a bit short for the price paid. But regardless the favela you visit is definitely one of the better ones to see. We did not feel unsafe at all.

This tour was great! Our guide, Luis, was fantastic. Not only did he take us to additional places that weren't on our itinerary, but he drove us around in a car to give us optimal time. We even ended up at a beautiful cafe in the area. Santa Teresa is not to be missed!

Overall the tour was enjoyable. My driver was late picking me up by 30 mins for an 8am pick up. We got to the tour office around 9am and was told I had to wait until 10:30am for the ferry to Alcatraz, which was just a few blocks away. I wish the morning was more organized so I wasn't wasting my time
